1Password Reviews

Pros

I like the UI design and the excellent browser plug-ins that allow me to sign in to any Web site or service without having to retype my password: the laptop’s built-in fingerprint reader takes care of that. The syncing between desktop and mobile devices works flawlessly, and it’s easy to generate new passwords and fill in custom form fields (such as checkboxes). I also really like the sharing feature that enables sharing one item with a coworker.

Cons

I don’t like the lock-in 1Password introduces by offering to couple the Family account to the work account. If I change employers, and the new one does not use 1Password, I would have to migrate my personal vault, which is always a hassle.

Pros

The biggest pro is the option of passkey, I think it is one of the greatest features. The password are more secure in their app than in other type of password managers. It's really easy to import your credentials from other apps.

Cons

Not so many websites allow passkeys. Sometimes the website is not recognize automatically. You need to configure manually in the browser so you can only see the recommendations of 1password instead of the browser recommendations.

Pros

1Password is easy-to-use with a good user interface. It syncs across all my devices. Has a strong master password.

Cons

It had a security breech which industry leader recommend caution using 1Password. It is expensive and has limited import options.

Pros

Secure, encrypted password management that makes life a lot easier. Being in IT I cannot describe the number of passwords I have to keep track of or how often I have to change them so 1Password keeps me working without losing my mind!

Cons

The newer version of the mobile app will remain open longer without requiring the user to sign back in so I am sticking to the older version of the mobile app.

Dashlane could lock a user out if the main password was forgotten, which happened to one of our executives - he was not happy.

Reasons for Switching to 1Password

Ease of use and cost plus the business features are better.

Pros

After using many different password management systems, I can clearly state that 1Password offers the best value for money for my work's and family's needs. Their technology, UI and constant updates are incredible.

Cons

In general, I would always rather buy a great product as a one-off rather than a Saas, but this business model is fading out globally.

Pros

I think sharing links and credentials within 1password is a high-value feature. In the past, we were using another site to send "secrets" to prevent credentials from being shared via email. 1password also has the option to add contractor accounts and the ability to offer employees personal family accounts as well.

Cons

The most irritating part of 1password is the constant need to sign back in. I understand this is likely due to SOC2 compliance and other security settings; however, having to sign in 4+ times a day when I don't leave my desk for most of the day seems a little overkill. Also, the option to automatically save credentials does not always work within web browsers. Our old PW vault asked each and every time a credential was entered which ensured new or updated passwords would be available the next time you needed them.

Pros

it syncs beautifully, is canadian, and has top marks for security.its ability to share some items across a family account is also great.

Cons

the latest update to the mobile app struggles with auto-fill, there can be a long delay before it presents itself as an option, and sometimes it never presents as an option when filling out passwords.the way it works on chromebook is also very clunky

Reasons for Switching to 1Password

primarily because it is canadian, but it also had very good reviews around its encryption, and when i demo'd it i really enjoyed the UI and it worked so smoothly

Pros

I enjoyed the MFA integration, password generation when singing up, the seamless device integrations, and the great encryption. Browser integrations are awesome too if you don't want to use the whole app every time.

Cons

I don't like that even with browser integrations, sometimes it won't autofill for you and you have to manually click on the extension.

Pros

1Password is strong for non-technical people. It is easy to use and provides a secure way to store and manage passwords, especially when working with people who have never considered password management before. The password generation feature is top-notch, allowing users to create strong and unique passwords with ease.

Cons

I used to be a big fan of 1Password, but their recent changes have been a huge disappointment. Data management is a huge concern, as they used to allow users to store the password database where they wanted, but with the latest version one is obliged to use their service which takes control away from the user. They switched from being a customer-oriented indie developer to a VC-funded SaaS vendor which created customer-hostile incentives. Their native Mac app used to be a masterclass in how to develop a beautiful macOS app. Now they switched to Electron which feels janky, slow, and does not fully support macOS's accessibility features which I rely on. To top it all off, the developers have been quite arrogant online when faced with these criticisms. I would not recommend 1Password to anyone.

I value polish and integration into macOS

Reasons for Switching to 1Password

At the time, 1Password felt much more polished. Although now, I have switched back to a KeePass-based solution called Strongbox.

Pros

1Password is easy to use and integrates with a variety of popular operating systems and browsers.

Cons

Moving passwords between vaults can be a little confusing for my less tech-savvy relatives, so it would be nice if this feature was more prominent.

Pros

Seamless integration into Chrome with the chrome add-on. Passwords are synced across my devices (a total game changer is the way that the app integrates into apps and the keyboard in iOS) and I can forget my passwords, plus keep track of what other forms of sign-in I've used.

Cons

I honestly struggle to come up with anything for this question – if I had to be really picky the Single Sign on Prompts are a bit annoying, because most of the time I dismiss these and just sign in using the pass word for the SSO form, which prompts the password for that account.

Pros

I like how easy it is to both setup, store and update on the go. Using finger print also saves a lot of time, a much more smoother solution than any in browser password manager out there

Cons

Could have a better interface on mobile devices, although it works like a charm on MacOS

Pros

Cross platform, secure storage, vault sharing/management, treats macOS as "first class citizen".

Cons

Some of the management is not intuitive.

Pros

As a long-time user of 1Password, I've relied heavily on it to manage hundreds of my online logins. This application significantly helps me organize and safeguard my multiple online accounts. The ability to generate and store complex passwords securely has taken a load off my mind, knowing that my data is much safer from potential breaches.

I particularly love the seamless integration with all my Apple devices, allowing me to access my information whenever needed. The Quick Access window is another feature that I find incredibly useful. With a simple shortcut, I can easily search for and copy login information, which has significantly sped up my online activities.

Another aspect that I appreciate is the clean user interface. The ability to sort data by last used and changed makes navigation intuitive and hassle-free. It's convenient that 1Password saves deleted passwords in the trash in case I need to recover one.

In summary, 1Password has become an indispensable tool in my digital life. Its robust features, ease of use, and high level of security make it a top choice for anyone looking to enhance their online security.

Cons

There are no significant cons for 1Password. It has worked for me for years. They keep it updated, and I don't mind paying for the subscription.

Pros

Demo'd many Password Managers before choosing this. Liked the features and the graphics as well. Has categories with prefills for the most appropriate fields.

Cons

I feel like I was able to filter by categories on the app at one time, but not now. It's not that important because there are also tags, but you do have to remember to assign them.

Pros

Secure Storage: 1Password securely stores not only passwords but also other sensitive information like credit card details, secure notes, and more. This requires multistep identification. Its also helpful for password sharing among small teams

Cons

Some users might find the subscription cost for 1Password to be relatively high compared to other password managers or free alternatives. While the cost often reflects the robust features and security offered by 1Password, it might be a consideration for budget-conscious users.

Pros

What I like the most about 1Password is it's simplicity. It is very easy to work with, seamless integration into browser. Also, it's high level of security and 2FA.

Cons

I did not encounter any issues with 1Password to worth mentioning so far.

Integration across devices, ease of use, administration

Cons

Slightly difficult to onboard less technically-minded users.
Occasional (rare) loss of connection with browser plugins

Cons

I did not find any cons with 1Password so far. All good.

It takes a bit to configure but persevere and it'll be worth it

Cons

The cost can be a concern for smaller businesses or individual users, as it falls into the premium category of password managers. Additionally, some users may find the initial setup and integration process with various apps and browsers a bit time-consuming, but the extra effort is undoubtedly worthwhile for enhanced security.
